You said, "Why not?"
Best of our intentions
Not how we thought
That's not worth a mention
Oh, Sweet Side Eyes
Simple when we started
All of your sighs
Were so closely guarded
I stayed up all those nights 'til
My phone died playing your songs
And when they cut the lights you'd
Fall asleep; I'd hum along
You said these walls
Don't match your complexion
"Save all your schmaltz
For the Resurrection"
Oh, Sweet Side Eyes
Never sentimental
Alchemists try
To fight elemental
I stayed up all those nights 'til
My phone died playing your songs
And when they cut the lights you'd
Fall asleep; I'd hum along
You said, "What now?"
Thought we'd see it through
We're fine, somehow
You said, "I see through you"
Oh, Sweet Side Eyes
Never one for holding
Lived like crane flies
Are you only molting?
I stayed up all those nights 'til
My phone died playing your songs
And when they cut the lights you'd
Fall asleep; I'd hum along
